Incorrect incarceration myths: .1. Profitable (as shown above, it's not).2. Drug charges caused it (this claims that prisons are effective if drug war wasn't racist, but prison oppression pre-exists drug war by 2 decades, drug charges were *created* to restock prisons).

Though the main dependency Spain had over Europe was its purchasing power which disrupted the positions of the landlords in Europe, it also made Spain dependent on buying things in Europe, very similar to the relationship between the Imperialist bloc today and China for instance.

The Spanish and English were both upstart capitals, the Spanish came to dominate the "ancien regime" first and became the political-economic hegemon and weaponized its position to make the other states of Europe dependent on it through the "soft power" of the Church institutions.

I've posted this cap before, but it lays bare that the differences and conflicts between the Spanish and English were over their respective positions in the global(izing) economy at the time.

Religious rifts were political-economic rifts. Religion was merely the medium in which ideological praxis expressed because those were the statehood institutions they inherited from history.

The most important takeaway from Liberal works like "Profits in Wilderness" and Marxist works like Christopher Hill's, is that the respective religious formations of the European colonial powers were reflections of their really existing political-economic lives and interests.

Some of these dams were built as late as 1975. The "Green Future" under Settler Colonialism is a mass extinction event. The Unions and "The Left" including CPUSA supported these works for the "jobs", *while* opposing Indigenous Nations were being Terminated.

I should say this time frame mostly applies to the Buffalo. Salmon destruction is much more recent. The primary assault on Salmon are the hundreds of dams in the PNW (these 70-odd are only the Big River basin). These were erected as early as the 1910s, most New Deal/post-WW2.

Wallace's head was erected onto the London Bridge, his four limbs were sent to the four corners of Britain as a warning to not "betray" the English. This has a direct through-line to existing Scottish marriage to the United Kingdom.

The English in fact, often preserved these bodies so that they would decompose slower, one such example is Oliver Cromwell, the former Lord Protector of England. Another is William Wallace, a Scottish Independence leader, whose mutilation was depicted in the movie "Outlaw King"

That is the ritual displaying of mutilated bodies was a common tactic by the English that they had displayed in their colonization in Ireland on mass scales, and then brought to the Americas. This practice went back at least centuries *within England*.

Particularly for fighting that was very far from the homes of the warriors. When the Plymouth Colonists murdered Massachusetts leaders at a "peace" summit, the Colonists took the heads of the Massachusetts and displayed them on pikes, a practice extremely common in Anglo-Ireland.

It was *only* the French and English who created a scalp bounty system to prove that their mercenaries (many of whom were Indigenous) had successfully defeated members of the opposing empire. Scalps throughout history were commonly used to prove *war*/battles happened.

These are all things that Europeans introduced to the Americas on a mass scale. The first three are obvious, but let's discuss Scalping a little further. There is archeological evidence of Scalping *everywhere throughout human history*.

This Lenin fella pretty smart I must say.

Imma be real chief "Americans" don't study their own history either, they essentially have a mythological understanding of their society.

Human relations with both groups of organisms *increases* their productivity. To justify the labor-power that goes into these relations, the most "straightforward, ethical" source of reproductive nutrients is from that labor itself, i.e. consumption of Salmon and Buffalo meats.

Both groups of organisms are massive carriers of nutrients through-out humongous ecosystems, the Buffalo over almost the entire continent, the Salmon the entire Pacific ocean. Nutrients are necessary to facilitate the carbon capture of bunch grasses and algae.

Healthy Pacific Salmon populations and healthy Buffalo herds are humongous carbon sinks that settlers have destroyed *only* in the last 150-200 years.

Every grain you eat could have been a baby plant you monster /s.

Humans play a role in all ecosystems and this includes predation and this role increases bio-available energy. A lot of this debate so far has been Settler subjectivities.
